Original Story

Where is Xur this week? Is he in the Tower or the Reef? Well before we get to that, we should recap what's been going on in the world of Destiny this week.

Bungie has reminded us that Destiny 2 is not far away, telling fans on the "This week at Bungie" blogpost:

"Behind the scenes, we’re rehearsing the gameplay premiere of Destiny 2. We’ll say it every week until it happens: “May 18!”

"It’s the answer to every question about your next adventure. While we wait (and waiting is a killer) we still have new and immediate developments for players who are committed to the rituals of the ongoing Destiny endgame."

And that's exactly what we're going to do to, as we turn our attention to Xur and cross our fingers that the exotic gear merchant returns with some amazing stock to spend our strange coins on.

A quick reminder as well that the Destiny Rise of Iron patch notes revealed that Xur’s exotics have been increased to 350 Light, he'll have two Exotic Weapon Ornaments per week for Silver Dust and Xur can now carry Legacy Boot Engrams.

If you're looking for Xur this week, don't bother checking the Destiny Reddit page for info. That's because Xur won't arrive until 10AM (GMT), one hour later than past months following a time zone change.

In order to participate in the Trials of Osiris, players must collect a Trials Passage from Brother Vance in the Vestian Outpost, and enter the Trials of Osiris playlist with a pre-made Fireteam of 3 players.

However, The Trials of Osiris is no longer available on legacy consoles, which includes the PS3 and Xbox 360.

"To access Trials of Osiris after August 30, 2016, Legacy Console players will need to upgrade from their Legacy Console and purchase Destiny: Rise of Iron once it is released," read a statement from Bungie.

"The Taken King players on Current Gen Consoles will also need to purchase Destiny: Rise of Iron once it is released in order to continue accessing Trials of Osiris."
